For the safety of the vehicle occu-
pants, the vehicle is equipped with
two seat belts. However, they can
only provide effective protection
when worn correctly.
Before a journey, always make sure
that all occupants have fastened
their seat belts. The airbags sup-
plement the seat belts as an addi-
tional safety device. The airbags
are not a substitute for the seat
belts.
All belt fastening points are
designed to achieve the best possi-
ble protective effe ct of the seat
belts with proper use of the seat
belts and correct seat setting.
Notes on sitting safely, see page
P.107.

• Press the button at the

Safety notes
WA R N I N G
Never restrain more than one person
with each seat belt, otherwise the pro- tective effect of the seat belt is no
longer guaranteed. There is a danger
of injury or even death. Only restrain one person with each seat belt. Do
not allow infants and children to travel
on the lap of another occupant.
Instead, secure the infant or child in a child restraint system intended for this
purpose.
WA R N I N G
The protective function of the seat
belts may be limited or may even fail
completely if the seat belts are worn incorrectly. If a seat belt is not worn
correctly, additional injuries can be
caused, for example in the event of an accident or when braking or carry-
ing out evasive manoeuvres. There is
a danger of injury or even death.
Make sure that al l vehicle occupants have fastened their seat belts cor-
rectly.
WA R N I N G
Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body and
should be worn low across the front of the pelvis, or the pelvis, chest and
shoulders, as applicable. Wearing the
lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection for
which they have been designed. A
slack belt will greatly reduce the pro- tection afforded to the wearer.

Follow the information on the front

NEVER use a rearwa rd facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it,
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to
the CHILD can occur.
Except for ASEAN countries, South
Africa, Australia and New Zealand
without ISOFIX lower anchorage
and airbag manual on-off switch:
After installing a universal child
restraint system, move the front
passenger seat as fa r back as it will
go and adjust it to the upper most
position. This seat position and
height achieves the best possible
routing of the belt and protection in
the event of an accident.
If the upper attachment point of the
seat belt is located ahead of the
child seat's belt guide, carefully
move the front passenger seat for-
wards until the best possible belt
guidance is achieved.
With adjustable backrest width:
before fitting a child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat,
fully open the backrest width. Do
not change the backrest width from
this point on and do not call up a
memory position.
Follow the informat ion on the front
passenger sun visor.

WA R N I N G
If triggered, active front passenger
airbags can fatally injure a child in a child restraint system which is
mounted facing backwards. There is
a risk of injury or even death. Make
sure that the front passenger airbags are deactivated and the PASSEN-
